[CRAZY EYES is now available on home video.]
Review by Charles Cassady, Jr.
Apparently the Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Company got some publicity (and reminded people that they're
still in business) by publicly inviting at-risk/chemically impaired
starlets Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Bynes over here for driving
lessons. Aww, they probably just want to launch a cable sitcom with
the ladies called "Hot in Akron." Either that or NE Ohio is
one place where the drinking is so all pervasive that you could
actually be pulled over for insufficient blood-alcohol count;
therefore showbiz folk would be safe. I've pondered that sometimes,
coming home white-knuckled from my night jobs. Dr. Bob and Bill W,
yeah, sure, right.
Ms. Bynes or Ms. Lohan might have
purchased some much-needed goodwill and a pint of artistic integrity
via appearing in CRAZY EYES, an indie which, despite upscale
environments, has a tone not unlike the lowlife addiction-fiction of
Charles Bukowski (inspiration for BARFLY) and Hubert Selby Jr.
(inspiration for LAST EXIT TO BROOKLYN and REQUIEM FOR A
DREAM).
